Parking

Follow the green ‘P’ to over 8,000 parking spaces, including more than 800 free on-street spaces. You can also park at one of the City’s 14 parking facilities, located just steps away from all the popular entertainment, shopping and dining destinations. The City also offers free parking on weekends in select locations, and many downtown merchants provide free or discounted garage parking for their customers.

The Parking Division, organizationally located in the Public Works Department, oversees the operation of all City garages. Each parking garage is equipped with an automated Pay-in-Lane station, which accepts cash, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) and parking vouchers.
